Hello everyone,
I hope you're all doing well.
Today was my mom's second day since being discharged from the hospital to a nearby apartment. It's a very comfortable place with a kitchen and 2 bed/2 bath, fully furnished, and in a very nice complex.
The day began early with blood work at 730am at Moffitt. My dad and I went to finish moving things into the apartment while the blood work was being done. When we got back, my mom was resting/napping and receiving some fluids in the BMT Clinic. Around 1130, the nurse came and told us that an infusion of magnesium was being added for a 2 hour period. Towards the end of it, my mom was beginning to feel uncomfortable and slightly nauseated. They slowed the delivery of the fluidic magnesium but it took several hours for the effects to wear off. Meanwhile, I attended a class for caregivers from about 330-5 and when I returned my mom was finally feeling better and ready to go. We came back, had a snack, went for a walk around the lake (about a mile including her warm-up on the eliptical) and then ate dinner and prepared for
sleep before another day which will hopefully be much more easy and more fun =]

Walking around the lake? What next-skulling on the lake? So glad to hear about your progress. When you are up to it, give me a call on my cell. Sandy and I will be traveling (you know where) but the cell works everywhere.Keep up the positive stuff.
